This site has existed since 2003, and is run by Richard Seymour. Not the billionaire American footballer. Not that guy. Stop sending me fan mail for that guy. I am available for children's parties.

Contact: I'll take feedback at leninstombblog[at]googlemail[dot]com. But if you have an idea for an article or an appearance you'd like from me, please contact my agent, Susie Nicklin at the Marsh Agency, susie[at]susienicklin[dot]com.

Donations: I work on this website for free, but I do solicit donations. Please donate.

Comments: The 'below the line' culture of this website is, quite unlike that of most of the internet, entirely free of racism, homophobia, sexism, and bullying. That's because I know how to use the 'delete' and 'ban' buttons.

Short bio: Born in a Hun enclave of Northern Ireland in 1977, I was raised by wolves and Protestants in a town called Antrim. I moved to London in 1996 as a student, worked for some years as a market researcher, before finally quitting to pursue my dream of unemployment. I can resist anything except temptation (because I lack discipline), flattery (because I'm vain) or money (because I'm usually broke). I am an author, occasional columnist, obsessive neurotic, and PhD candidate at the London School of Economics. Hobbies include referring to myself in the fourth person. My wiki page contains some background on my written work. You can also check my pages at The Guardian, Verso and Amazon.
